A march from Town Hall to Mysore bank circle marked Congress' protest in support of Aakrosh Diwas. The march was led by senior Congress leaders including the party's working President Dinesh Gundu Rao.

District units of the Congress have also been instructed to carryout protests and submit a memorandum to respective District Commissioners. The memorandum will speak of Congress' dissatisfaction over demonetisation move.
